Swan Group has completed the acquisition of the nine-acre site on Edinburgh Road and a planning application is currently being submitted.

The developer is working closely with housing associations and local authorities to provide affordable and social housing across a range of developments in the UK.

Phil McGinlay, managing director of Swan Group, said: “With our headquarters in Glasgow, it’s great to have the opportunity to develop much needed affordable housing at our new Edinburgh Road site in the east end of the city. Swan Group is proud to be part of the wide-ranging regeneration projects currently being undertaken in this part of the city.”

Derek Smith, land & development director of Swan Group, added: “In keeping with Swan’s ambitions to deliver good quality affordable homes on a turn-key arrangement, the proposed development of 150 affordable homes within a short distance of Glasgow city centre is a fantastic opportunity for us and everyone involved.”
